Hi Stefan, there's another print, Novus Partus by Besard (1617), that contains music for the tiorbino. Anything that is feasible on the theorbo should also be feasible on the tiorbino, I suppose. And I love that video by Albane Imbs. Mathias

On a side note, the names of the luthiers who built the tiorbino that is now kept in Geneva, are given as: Johannes Hieber and Andreas Pfanzelt (both on the museum's page and on Barber's / Harris's page). The name of Hieber's colleague in Padua, though, apparently was Martin(o) Pfanzelt,

Dear Andreas, Yes I'm sorry, you are right, 5 courses on the petit jeu is not what Castaldi calls for. I must change my notes which I made many years ago! But the relative length of the extension on this instrument does make it _look_ more like the pictures which Castaldi engraved himself

The Brussel instrument is depicted in „The Lute in Europe 2" p. 114. Because of the disposition of the petit jeu with 5 courses (1x1 + 4x2) I think it could be a Chitarra attiorbata. The tiorbina tablature in Castaldi asks for 6 courses in the petit jeu. Andreas Am 17.06.2020
